=============================================================================
This archive consists of ANORMAL's DOSEXE tools pack and compilers pack,
both of which are being offered as a service to computer historians. These
tools are valuable to researchers looking into how DOS/PC .EXE and .COM
files were:
- Created/Compiled
- Compressed/Packed/Decompressed/Unpacked
- Encrypted/Protected
- Debugged/Traced
- Disassembled/Unassembled
The tools are from the same era as the files they work with, which means
they themselves are DOS-era .EXE and .COM files, and will only work in
similar environments.
No support whatsoever is available for these tools; you use them at your own
risk.
